Transcription

1 February 17, 2019 Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Watchword for the Week Blessed are those that trust in the Lord, whose trust is in the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7 Welcome to our service of worship for this sixth Sunday in a season of the church year called Epiphany. During Christmas we celebrate Jesus coming as the Light of the World. Epiphany focuses on His Light shining forth in ever widening circles to touch the hearts of people everywhere. As we worship today may the love of God the Father burn warmly in our hearts and may the Holy Spirit rekindle in each of us a passion to light our world with the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life - the only source of salvation. If you are visiting with us today we are especially glad you are here. Please take a moment to add your name, address and phone number to the blue Friendship Register as it is passed down the pew. We consider you an honored guest and hope that you will return and worship with us in the weeks to come. If you are looking for a church home, we would love to talk with you about joining the Friedberg church family. Please silence all cell phones before worship.
